The architecture of the palace, for example, is Cirebon’s Keraton Kasepuhan-meets-reimagined-Majapahit. "The interior of the palace is more or less like the Keraton but with some Majapahit influences. You won’t see the whole layout in the movie, just the throne and the front yard, but that's the big concept," Adrianto said. The sixteenth century setting was not a random choice by the film's creators. Producer Lala Timothy said the Wiro Sableng books cover many eras, but they had to choose one period for the film. Since in the books there are some storylines where Wiro clashes with European warriors, the sixteenth century seemed a good choice, since that was when the "spice route" that attracted Europeans to the Nusantara archipelago began. That was also the time when there were major political shifts in the Nusantara kingdoms, marked by the rise to power of the Islamic Kingdom of Demak and the Hindu Sunda Kingdom’s momentous decision to move its capital to Bogor. The historical background allowed the producers to fit in a similar plot. "The kingdoms fought each other for domination.
In this fantasy story, we have a dark and a light side. The dark side wants power at all cost, and the light side steps in when the dark side starts killing innocent people," Sheila said. With 20th Century Fox on board, overseas screenings are pretty much guaranteed for the Pan-Indonesian Wiro Sableng film.
